Which of the following is (are) associated with the alveolar consolidation clinical scenario?
1. Increased opacity on the chest radiograph
2. Decreased FRC
3. Bronchial breath sounds
4. Hyperresonant percussion note
a. 3
b. 2, 4
c. 1, 2, 3
d. 1, 2, 3, 4
C
Alveolar consolidation would cause decreased lung volume resulting in a decreased FRC. Opaque lung fields would appear on the chest radiograph. Bronchial breath sounds would be expected with alveolar consolidation.
